Bring Your Daughter To Work Day
I just love this lady. According to the Daily Mail, "Every day is Bring Your Child To Work Day at the European Parliament."
Apparently, Europeans have a different policy on bringing your children to work. Licia Ronzulli and her daughter are now both well-known in European government.
I love that she brings her daughter to work, but it's so much more than that. She does so unapologetically. Some women I know feel like they are imposing when they bring a child to work with them -- like they are doing something in appropriate. Not Licia.
Her daughter gets to be a tiny part of her mom's world. Perhaps it won't seem like such a giant world when she grows up.
I am a computer scientist. There are so few women in my field. I have a daughter whom I long to inspire. Perhaps I need to bring her to work every now and then. I know she'll be super bored just sitting in my office, but I think it's important for her to see what "real life" is like. I want her to be able to visualize potential futures.
Bravo! I hope you do!
Good luck, Licia! 
You 've raised an important point. Some women feel like they are imposing when they bring their children to work - even for a short while. I confess that, at my first job, I used to feel a little irritated and bewildered when some colleagues spoke about their child being unwell and having to struggle to take them to a doctor while meeting work commitments. I felt very bad about it later. So, I try to keep my eyes and ears open to see if someone around me needs help. I strongly believe that we should help our colleagues be better parents so we can have some part of an answer to the question: Are we, personally individually and jointly, adding happiness to the people around us and the living spaces we inhabit? Are we adding to the success probability and magnitude of the people around us and their families?
When I was a kid, my mom used to take me once a year to the school where she taught. I loved it.
And the entire family was invited to the opening ceremony of a new branch at my dad's workplace. Needless to say, that group photograph is one of my favorites! 
At my current workplace, puja is a family affair and everyone is invited. 
It is important that our family understands our work and what we are trying to accomplish. It is important that our family understands that we are a very valued member at our workplace and feel proud of us. I know that because my parents did that for us. And, I would want my best friend to see where I work, meet my colleagues and know that she need not worry over me. In any case, if we can take work home, why should'nt we take our family and best friend to our workplace?
I hope office buildings will make space for children's playarea and offices willing to rent the spaces at a premium (to make the buildings as profitable as those without these important facilities).
And, by understanding their parents' work from an early age, maybe children will find better solutions faster to the problems their parents thought were intractable.
I love that you said, "It is important that our family understands our work and what we are trying to accomplish." Hopefully we don't all have to work only for pay. I want to work toward a goal that I value -- apart from monetary recompense, and I want my daughter to understand it.
